My friends and I took a 3 hour drive out of Vegas to spend the day “shredding” the fresh powder at Brian Head Resort in Utah. It was a clear crisp day and one could see for miles atop the mountain. A friend captured what I thought was a great photo and I immediately felt compelled to paint it.
Many artists would agree that it’s not easy painting the elements and snow falls into that category also. As you can see, I tried a few different brushes and methods. In the end I found the style that worked.
I did not intend to make this another study in Realism Art but it’s so hard to avoid doing that sometimes.
Here’s the reference photo on the left and the finished artwork on the right.
